Create a Problem Statement

Topic: Health Disparities in Healthcare Access Among Minorities

Using the references document attached, create a problem statement for your applied dissertation project. Be sure to include the three (3) components of a quality problem statement listed above in your submission. In most cases, scholarly citations within the past five years are required to support the problem you will investigate. 

A problem statement includes three components: 

 1) Present an overview of the general topic or issue to establish the study’s context and introduce the reader to the issue. Discuss why this research topic is relevant and important. Explain the research on the subject and why it is important to healthcare leadership, management, or health policy.   

2)  Guide your reader to the specific problem you intend to address in your study. There should be a clear distinction between the current state and what is desired. Your dissertation problem statement should begin with the following: “The problem to be addressed in this dissertation project is …….” 

3) Identify who is impacted by the problem (e.g., individuals, organizations, industries, or society) and the potential negative consequences if the issue is not addressed. 

This assignment must be 1-2 pages (excluding the title and reference page).
